Smart 3.0 Terminal
General Information
Omnicomm Terminals are the on-board equipment designed to collect data on the
state of the vehicle and transmit these data to Omnicomm Online or a third-party fleet
monitoring system of choice.
Terminal key functions are:
- Identifying and recording location, speed, and direction of travel of a vehicle;
- Reading and sorting values received from the fuel level sensors and a wide range of
other connected equipment;
- Remote control of any additional equipment connected to the system;
- Non-volatile data storage;
- Transmitting data to Omnicomm Online and/or other fleet monitoring system of
choice.
Omnicomm Terminal modifications differ from one another by design and type of
equipment that can be connected to them. This User Manual describes the
Omnicomm Smart Terminal range.

“Access Point Name (APN)”: enter the name of the GPRS access point:
- internet (default)
Please enquire from your provider, whose SIM card is installed in the Terminal, of the
appropriate GPRS access point name.
“Phone number”: this stands for the telephone number associated with the SIM card
installed in the Terminal.
“APN user name” and “APN Password”: Enter your login details for the access point if
you're required to do so. Login details are provided along with the SIM card by
selected mobile network providers.
Collecting Data
Now refer to “Data Collection Parameters”:
11
Collecting Data
Collection Timer — set up the value for the polling period for the Terminal, its
connected modules and external devices. The available value range is from 15 to 240
seconds.
Go to the “Operation Mode for Ignition Off and Power On” and select one of the
following:
“Collect all data”, collecting and transmitting data in the same manner as when the
ignition is on.
“Collect all data except GPS”, collecting and transmitting data selected during the
Terminal configuration, except for the GPS module data.
“Collect Data during jolting”, monitoring the state of the panic button and
accelerometer. When the accelerometer readings change by more than 0.2 g, or
when the panic button is pressed, the Terminal switches to 'Collect All Data' mode
and proceeds to transmit data to the Communication Server for the next 5 minutes.
When selecting “Collect all data during jolting”, configure the following settings:
“Collect all data”, with this parameter enabled, the Terminal switches to “Collect all
data” mode and collects and transmits data to the communication server when the
time entered in the “Period of Data Transmission to Server” expires. Having
transmitted all available data, the Terminal reverts to “Collect data during jolting”
mode.
Period of data transmission to server, select the time interval in between the
Terminal's connection sessions to the server. The available values range from 1 to 6
hours at 1-hour increments.
12
Collecting Data
Depending on the mode selected, data is collected from pre-specified modules and
external devices.
“Adaptive data collection during turns”, enable or disable collecting data when the
vehicle makes a turn; enabling it helps increase the accuracy of recording and
displaying turns on the map. This is done by collecting additional data from the GPS
module more frequently than the “Collection Timer” parameter suggests.
“Collecting data on distance travelled” allows increasing the accuracy of tracking the
vehicle location and therefore displaying it on the map. This is done by collecting
additional data from the GPS module on the distance travelled between registered
events with set coordinates.
“Distance Travelled”, enter the value of the distance travelled from the last registered
event with set coordinates that must be reached to initiate data collection. The values
range from 10 to 1,000.
Communication Server Connection
In the section “Connection establishing parameters”:
“Period of sending data to the CS”, enter the number of minutes, upon expiry of
